If you don't mind, I would like to bring the throttle body one up.
Looks like you've been down this path before. 
Thanks. |
by all means pass the info along.
the one thing i can think of as far as the t/b goes is that possibly the dual blade setup allows for better air mixing from each turbo into the intake, but I dont have any airflow data that would substantiate either way, but one would imagine that running a monoblade setup over a dual, split blade setup would prove to be less restrictive.
as for the waste gate routing, the only other option i can think of off hand is to run it in a "Y" fashion right where the downpipe bends down to the turbo. then you could run a shorter oil line (whoopity do...lol), and run the waste gate pretty much straight forward and somewhat parallel to the turbo itself with overall shorter length of tubing for the wastegate as well..
and while im sure this setup is pushing 800hp... ya never know... could be pushing 817hp with a few minor changes...
